Recall Date: Mar 10, 2016
Safety Issue:

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2016 Hyundai Tucson vehicles manufactured May 26, 2015 to January 15, 2016 and equipped with an accessory trailer hitch harness either included with the accessory trailer hitch or sold as a service part.

Potential Risk:
Failure to illuminate the trailer's turn signal lights would prevent the communication of the driver's intent, increasing the risk of a crash.

1.DRIVER SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. IT EVENTUALLY WORKED BY PULLING REALLY HARD FROM OUTSIDE. 2. DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE BUT WILL FROM INSIDE. IT IS OBVIOUSLY UNLOCKED WHEN TRYING TO OPEN. THE ACTUATOR IS THE MOST LIKELY COMPONENT THAT IS FAILING. THE MECHANISM WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE KEY EITHER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT'S 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I CAN'T GET A CHILD OUT OF THE BACKSEAT. OR FOR FIRST RESPONDERS SENT TO AID SOMEONE TRAPPED IN THE CAR. I'VE READ OF MULTIPLE FAILURES AFTER SEARCHING FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. IT HAPPENS A LOT TO MANY HUNDAI MODELS OVER THE PAST 6-8 YEARS.

Potential Consequences:

THREE OF THE FOUR DOORS HAVE DEFECTS WHICH PREVENT THEM FROM OPENING FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE, WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THE DOOR LOCK ACUATOR IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR WAS REPLACED IN 2018. ONE OF THE BACK DOORS WAS REPLACED IN 2020, AND NOW THE OTHER BACK DOOR WON'T OPEN DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. I OFTEN TRANSPORT CHILDREN AND AN ELDERLY GRANDPARENT, ALL OF WHOM SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO GET THEM OUT OF THE VEHICLE. ON TOP OF THE FACT THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE, I'M NOW CONCERNED THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL STOP WORKING SOON, MEANING I CAN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT ALL. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SUPPORT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS 1,000 MILES OVER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO (CONVERSATION 4/5/21). FIVE STAR HYUNDAI OF MACON REFUSED TO PUT IN A REQUEST TO OVER-RIDE THE WARRANTY TO GET IT FIXED, SINCE CLEARLY IT IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE AND HYUNDAI IS APPARENTLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AS IT FREQUENTLY OCCURS WITH TUCSONS AND ELANTRAS (PER CONVERSATION WITH FIVE STAR HYUNDAI), YET REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS NOW AT 61,000 MILES THEY ARE SAYING IT IS NO LONGER THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND ARE NOT OFFERING TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY. THE BLIND SPOT DETECTOR IS ALSO MALFUNCTIONING, NOT NOTIFYING WHEN A VEHICLE IS NEXT TO MINE AND OCCASIONALLY GOING OFF WHEN THERE IS NO VEHICLE AT ALL. FIVE STAR MACON SAID THIS IS ALSO NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE AND SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHY IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM BUT WOULD REQUIRE THEM REMOVING MY BUMPER AND DOING EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC WORK BEFORE THEY'D KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.

Corrective Action:

THREE OF THE FOUR DOORS HAVE DEFECTS WHICH PREVENT THEM FROM OPENING FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE, WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THE DOOR LOCK ACUATOR IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR WAS REPLACED IN 2018. ONE OF THE BACK DOORS WAS REPLACED IN 2020, AND NOW THE OTHER BACK DOOR WON'T OPEN DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE.

FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE RIGHT REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. THE POWER DOOR LOCK BUTTON OPERATES CORRECTLY, BUT THE RR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN EITHER FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY DAMAGE TO THE DOOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, OR VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN SHOULD THE VEHICLE CATCH FIRE, OR BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH A CHILD IN THE REAR SEAT. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE " WHY WON'T MY RR DOOR OPEN ON MY 2016 TUCSON". I'VE LEARNED THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH MANY HYUNDAI OWNERS SINCE 2018. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER YET, BUT I PLAN TO SOON. SOME VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE PAID THE DEALER OVER $1,300 TO REPAIR THE DOOR. I AM A RETIRED POLICE INVESTIGATOR, AND I KNOW THE DANGER THAT SUCH AN ISSUE LIKE THIS CAN CAUSE. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
